Travelling to UEA for your graduationTravelling to UEA for your graduation

Travel by Car

Please be aware that there is no dedicated parking available for graduation attendees on campus. The only exceptions to this are Blue Badge holders who should register with the Travel & Transport Team prior to Graduation week by following the information found below.

Konect Bus Park and Ride

For those travelling to Graduation by car, a free Park and Ride service has been arranged for Graduates and guests as follows:

Guests should aim to arrive at the Park & Ride half an hour before they wish to arrive onto Campus. Buses are every 10 minutes and the journey takes under 20 minutes. Congregation hall is open 45 minutes before each ceremony for guests to arrive and find their seats. Please be aware that all guests should be seated and ready 15 minutes for the ceremonies.

Blue Badge Holders may pre-book a space in the main car park on campus (see below).

The Park and Ride parking area does not close (although the buses stop running at the times above). Should you wish to stay later than the bus operating times, you are welcome to do so and use a taxi to return to your car. You will be able to exit with your vehicle from the Park and Ride at any time.

The buses will set down and pick up at Bus Stop B, University Drive (outbound to Bluebell Rd), as well as pick-up and drop-off guests from the Enterprise Centre for the graduation ceremony screening.

First Bus operate three bus services through campus, which run approximately every 10 minutes.

Number 22 (Orange Line) – Old Catton - University (via City Centre, West Earlham and Bowthorpe) – please note, if travelling from the City Centre, it is recommended you use the 25 or 26, as the 22 takes longer due to its route.

Whilst we realise guests and graduates are unlikely to cycle to campus in their finery, we do have a large number of cycle facilities on campus. Further details on cycle parking can be seen our cycle parking map.
